GLADsTONE's FAREWELL SPEECH BEFORE DEPARTING
FROM ENGLAND FOR ITALY.
In replying TO the address presented to him by
the British liberals at Dover yesterday, Mr.. Glad
stone referred to the uncertain character OF Lord
Saitsburys declarations In reference to rair trade
and said they Indicated, as far the ma tority In
parliament is concerned, that free trade is in
secure. He relied upon the masses OF the people
TO oppose return 10 protection. The coming ses-
sion ana not promise we'll for the country. II it
were true that the great measure of the seSsion-a
local government bill-wouid not be introduced
until April, the government would inffict an I'M
disguised mockery on the country. The last was
dark session, but this would be darker unless
something was done to alleviate the situation In
Ireland. The darkest blot upon parliament was
the act now in operation effacng the civil rights
of the irish. The liberals were charged with inter-
fering With the administration OF the law. What
he was really trying to do was to retard the gov
law. 1t was well Tor them that they were on
the right side or the channel. II the Chris
tian knowledge Society, in seeking to pro-
mote Justice. merry and truth, were publish
ing in Ireland a book applying those principles to
that unhappy country, they would be subject TO
criminal prosecution. Lord Salisbury talked about
the consolidation OF the empire while pursuing q
policy OF national disruption. How, the speaker
asked, could that be policy of consolidation
which diSregarded centuries of national tradition
and opposed the will OF four out Of ve million OF
Irish people? Ireland only continued within the
bounds OF moderation because she knew that she
had the sympathy of friends in England. So long
as their moderation is continued, so long would
the sympathy be continued Not long, the speaker
said, could any government face a Unanimous
people. With the single exception OF the Belfast
council all the elective authorities sided with nome
rule The foreign imported government stood
alone. The liberals term OF minority in parlia-
ment would cease at the first election Their ap
peal lay with the country. The party had never

The bottom Of the Deep blue sea.


At d meeting OF the Society OF Telegraph Engi-
neers and Electricians last evening Mr.. Edward
stalhbras read paper on deep-Sea sounding In
connection with submarine telegraphy. Mr.. Stall
ibrass said the work Of surveying with view to
ascertaining the couiiguratlon Of the ocean bed
previous 10 laying submarine cable was OF vital
Importance. Between CadiZ and Tenerife alone a
distance OF about 700 IN les, 613 soundings were
taken ON one expedition resulting in the discovery
oftwo banks, two coral patches, aud four other
shoa spots Some OF the inctines near these banks
were remarkable, for their steepness. On the east
side OF one or these the bottom fell preciptously
Tor 40 feet, and on sounding taken by the Dacia
during her survey OF the Seine bank precipice OF
l,oOO feet was found. A nap OF the mouth OF the
Congo showed q most remarkable submarine gully
the contour lines OF which were drawn from 20.S
sOundings, many OF these having been taken at in
tervas or less than one mile In the mouth this re-
markable river depth OF no less than l452 feet
was found, the Thames In similar locality giving
only about 40 feet. The gully was distinctly
traced 100 miles out at sea. IL seemed almost In
credible that probably one-half OF the cables now
lying at the bottom OF the ocean, amounting TO a
value represented by several millions sterling. had
been placed on their ocean bed while those carry
ing out the work were almost totally ignorant OF
the bottom on which the cables were destined 10
